It's okay not to be okay!

6 simple words "...It's okay not to be okay." is all it took to have me in tears. Thats right, at the Brisbane Riverstage with hundreds of other spectators there, I was a sobbing mess. How the hell could someone famous from half way around the world know the words I wanted to hear. More-so how the hell had I never heard of this song before? Where have I been hiding? I used my husbands shirt to wipe my tears, so I can see her, Jessie J singing these words to me. I remember my husband asking why was I crying, & all I could blabber out was "shhhh...I'm trying to listen", when what I really wanted to say was "I'm crying because she hits my bloody soft spot". 

Jessie J, the woman of my heart! No really, I have the biggest girl crush on her. She is just perfection. My sister had some tickets given to her for her birthday however she couldn't make it, fortunately for my husband & I we were available. We had never thought to go to her concert prior as for us she was just another "POP STAR" & we both had been to many concerts we assumed it would be just like the rest. Well, we were wrong. Out of all the concerts I have been too this particular one was my absolute favourite. I've been to concerts such as Beyonce, Kanye, Chris & Rhianna *Like I how I use first name basis like We're chums?* I even had the pleasure of holding hands with Shaun Stockman from 'Boys II Men' while he serenaded "I'll make love to you". While my experience at the concerts were great, nothing & I mean nothing could compare to the 2 hours of Jessie J entertainment we had that night! 

She sang all her released chart songs "Do it like a dude" "Domino" "Price Tag" "Nobodys Perfect", but it was her 2 singles "Casualty of Love" & "Who you are" that filled a spot in my heart. While "Casualty of Love" is a song that my husband & I have dubbed as one of "Our songs", its "Who you are" that I have made my very own!

When someone/something upsets me, I really take it like a bad hit. I focus all my energy on that person/thing & the situation they have put me in. I get so indulged in the current mess that it takes over my own priorities. I focus on that one thing which then leads me to become sad, aggressive, secluded & stressed. While I have not yet mastered a way to ignore those people who have this effect on me, I have managed to find a way to allow more comfort in these situations.

When I feel as though these particular feelings are consuming me & I feel as though I'm going to reach breaking point, I repeat to myself 'Its okay not be okay'.

I would like a perfect life as much as the next person but thats not the plans God has made for us. We have been put here to be tested. We have our trials given to us to show how our strength can overcome the weaknesses, to show how our faith can prevail our doubts & how our blessings can humble us when we pull through.

If you're like me & are having one of 'Those days' *like I am having again today* watch this video, shed some tears & snot. It's fine to let it all out. I mean, I watched it again & cried like a baby & there is no problem with that. It made me feel better & forget what i was so upset about. I guess having some chocolate helped too.
